Entrepreneur's new business will bring snacks and treats right down your street

By Howard B. Owens

You've heard of ice cream trucks coming down your street, but what if that ice cream truck could also bring you Big Pauly's pizza, or a hot dog, or chips and a soda?

That's kind of the thought Victor Thomas had when he decided to start his new business, the Quick Fix Snack Shack.

It's a snack shop on wheels.

Just like an ice cream truck, Thomas rolls down residential streets playing ice cream truck music (and some modern songs sampled to sound like ice cream truck music) in the hopes you'll want a snack.

Thomas started his new business two weeks ago and has taken it through Batavia, Le Roy and Elba. When we ran into each other today, he was headed to the yogurt plants to see how he might do with the lunch crowd for the first time.

He hopes to add other food items as the business grows, including this winter, soups, hot cocoa and coffee.

I think it was this vehicle I saw at East Coast Customs awhile back,and it had some nice chrome rims on it! I can't believe no one has thought of this sooner-great idea! Good luck on your venture! He'll have to be careful about going to Quaker Mueller-I remember signs during construction saying you could only bring/consume certain companies products onto that site......
